I was in Bed, Bath & Beyond one day just looking around when I came across the Magic Bullet Express.  I had seen the infomercials on TV talking about this blender/mixer and it looked really cool and easy to use and curiosity got the better of me, so I just had to have it.I brought it home, set it up and decided that I would make me a mixed drink for my first trial run.  So, after ...

When I was younger, my allergic rhinitis was at its worse. Every single day that I wake up, I would sneeze. A lot of times, the sneezing would go away mid-morning. But many times, this would continue that my immunity would fluctuate and I would catch a cold or flu.During these times, I would immediately pop a tablet of Celestamine to stop the sneezing. In less than 30 minutes, the irritation on...

I had a relative that recently tried debt consolidation. He wasn't too far into debt where he couldn't pay his bills, but he was getting nowhere fast trying to pay down credit cards. He tried debt counseling/consolidation with a company called Money Management International or MMI.He told me that after calling MMI, they claimed they could reduce the interest rate on a lot of his cards b...

I love this company. For every pair of shoes they sell, a pair is donated to a child in need. Genius! Although these shoes only come in one style, there are many variations of colors & designs in the fabric. I was thinking about getting a pair of these for a long time, but it wasn't until I found a pair of the blue tye-dye edition that I finally got my hands on them. They're so comfy, & cute! U...

Ok…I’m not mechanically inclined…I don’t even mess around much on motorcycles, dirt bikes etc…My in laws bought a pair of these  Baja Warrior Mini Bikes. Every time we stay up at their house or they come spend a weekend at ours, they bring them. I have played around on them a little and they are pretty fun! The Baja Warrior is a mini Chopper style &ldq...

What's all of the craze with BKT (known as Brazilian Keratin Treatments)? Well I HAD to try it for myself and I was really impressed with the results! Brazilian Keratin Treatments are products that use a form of protein called keratin to repair the cuticle. Formalin is used to help bind the keratin to the cuticle. It works to smooth the cuticles of curly, frizzy hair and is temporary, usual...

I am a camera fanatic, I guess because my husband and I are both professional photographers.  I recently purchased a few point and shoot cameras, to use separately from my professional camera.  The Kodak EasyShare Z1485 IS is a dandy little camera.  I have mine in blue (my favorite color) and this camera is very user-friendly and takes great shots.  This camera is 14 megapix...

  First Impression on the p2570HD:The great: Samsung's SyncMaster P2570HD offers plenty of inputs, a descent HDTV monitor, basic speakers, and a remote control with all necessary features.  Also, great style and very good performance are included in a panel less than 2" deep.The bad: No VGA cable, no height or tilt adjustment and Samsung's website does not have an updated...

I had my mechanic put the Bosch platinum plus 4 spark plugs in my Subaru Forster about 3 years ago. They have been firing just fine with no problems at all noted. I have been told that these plugs can stay in service for quite a number of years without changing them. They come preset so there is no need to gap them. I noticed right away that the engine seemed to respond quicker. As I accelerate...

When we first bought our house, I wanted an easy way to pay all or most of our bills.  I figured I would start by having our Nicor (gas) bill come directly out of our checking account.  I went to the Nicor web site and clicked on online bill pay.  Apparently Nicor doesn't directly to online bill pay, they go through mycheckfree.com.  I did some research into mycheckfree....

About a year ago I purchased Debbie Meyer green boxes from HSN.  This is a 20 piece set of food containers made of a durable plastic that really does keep food fresh for much longer than if stored in other ways.These containers are dishwasher safe (top rack), microwave safe, and have tightly fitting lids that keep air out.  The containers I have pictured are the large boxes for holdin...

It's fitting that at the moment I'm sitting in an airport since my review is about the new Virgin Mobile Broadband 2 Go.  And yes, I AM using the USB attached wireless device right now.  What prompted me to make this purchase, was the fact that I travel to see my mom a couple times a year, and her condo has no wi-fi connection. None.  Nada.  Can't even steal a wi...

I've done a lot of hair coloring in my lifetime!  I work in a beauty salon, so you'd think this would be an easy place to get your hair done!  In reality, it's hard to find a co-worker to fit me into their schedule.  After all, why should they forgo a paying customer for a freebie?Sally Beauty Supply isn't where I normally buy my hair color.  For&nb...

The swivel sweeper G2, hands down, is the most efficient and effective vacuuming tool in the market currently, courtesy of its new technology and design. It is nimble, lightweight, and agile, yet twice as effective and powerful as the traditional electric 2wl or 4wl vacuum. It has the ability to function on wood, tile, carpet, stairs, and any other surface that one would typically expect in any...

Hobby Lobby is so confident of customer approval that they named it “I Love This Yarn.”  It pretty much lives up to that claim, I will admit.This is a 100% acrylic, 4-ply knitting worsted yarn.  That much sounds just the same as the Red Heart Yarn I reviewed earlier.  But this yarn is much, much softer to the feel.It is machine washable and dryable.  The skeins a...

I purchased 4 of these Yokohama AS 430 tires from Town Fair Tire about 4 years ago. I have put on 30,000 miles since and it looks to me like the tread has worn quite evenly. I have rotated them as recommended a very important aspect of tire care. Without doing that tires wear very unevenly. Supposedly with proper care these tires are said to be able to last in the area of 70,000 miles. The...

The Craftsman 3 1/2-ton hydraulic floor jack is very handy to have around.  This is our second Craftsman floor jack; we needed this bigger one for our bigger Truck.This floor jack is heavy.  It's mobile on four steel casters.  The jack plate is nice sized at about 6 inches in diameter.  The jack cranks evenly to 20 inches and lowers smoothly because of the hydraulic syst...

This will be my third winter using the Mastercraft  Glacier Grip Tires. These have been a wonderful and sturdy tire for winter driving. The tread is aggressive and the wear is lasting. The only issue I have is the price varies due to the size needed. I paid $125.00 per tire and that is because I had a sport coupe to fit. There is a bit of road noise but this is to be expected for...

We purchased our home about six years ago.  It was a housing contractor's spec home so it did not have the highest quality of features nor did we get to pick any items.  We are happy with that decision but now that we have saved up some money, we are starting to make some of the changes that we have come to desire over the years.  One thing that we have been wanting for awhil...
